Cindy Lee Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
I specialize in working with adults who have experienced sexual abuse, sexual assault, or other forms of sexual trauma. These experiences can have lasting effects that extend far beyond the event itself, often impacting sense of safety, self-worth, boundaries, intimacy, and the ability to feel present in one’s body or relationships.
Survivors may experience a wide range of symptoms, including anxiety, shame, emotional numbness, dissociation, difficulty trusting others, or feeling disconnected from themselves. These responses are adaptive and often reflect how the nervous system has learned to survive overwhelming experiences.
My approach is trauma-informed, paced, and centered on safety and consent at every stage of the therapeutic process. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) to help process traumatic experiences in a way that reduces emotional charge while supporting nervous system stability. These modalities allow us to work at a depth that is effective without requiring you to relive or re-experience trauma in detail.
I also integrate nervous system regulation and attachment-focused work, with particular attention to rebuilding internal safety, boundaries, and self-trust. Therapy is guided by your pace and readiness, with a strong emphasis on maintaining control and choice throughout the process.
Over time, clients often experience reduced trauma symptoms, increased emotional and somatic regulation, and a greater sense of agency, safety, and connection in their lives and relationships.

Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
Sexual abuse treatment is extremely vulnerable work and I deeply respect survivors for their courage to address this in therapy. I find that developing a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship is the first essential step in this work. Once that is established, we might use various nervous system regulation techniques (including polyvagal and other mindfulness-based approaches) to make sure you feel sturdy enough to dive into this work. Most often EMDR or Flash Technique (an offshoot of EMDR) are the modalities of choice in processing the abuse. I follow my client's pace and readiness every step along the way.

Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Sexual abuse is very upsetting to our sense of self because it affects: self-esteem, body issues, boundaries, betrayal, future sex life, intimacy, and trust to name just a few. Recovery starts with gently and gracefully beginning to love yourself, as you are, and then working through the above issues and others. You can learn to have excellent boundaries and have sex without anxiety and fear.

Jessica Torres Kreidt
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC, NCC, CCTP (CA: LPCC#17935)
My journey in mental health began at the YWCA HOPE Center, where I supported survivors of sexual abuse in processing their trauma and reclaiming their sense of agency. Today, I bring additional tools like EMDR, CPT, and, most importantly, a compassionate approach that meets you where you are. Using these methods, I guide survivors through the complex emotions and challenges they face, focusing on empowerment, resilience, and healing as they reclaim their lives and find peace.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Because I have a speciality in trauma processing therapies, folks with past abuse can often find real relief in working through the implications of trauma-not just the memories of these experiences but how the body does indeed "keep the score". Trauma work needs to include both strong relational rapport, education about how trauma impacts on all levels of functioning and processing therapies such as EMDR or Deep Brain Reorienting to assist with deep healing.

Dr. Rebecca Scott, Psy.D
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist, Certified in Holistic Health
I can provide support to patients who are struggling with sexual abuse both past and current. I provide many different types of modalities and encourage patients to choose the path they feel most comfortable with. Recalling all the details can be further traumatizing and research suggests in many cases not necessary.

James Foley Sexual Misbehavior, Infidelity , Expert 31 Years Experience
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R, SOTS,
I help persons who engaged in illegal sexual behaviors learn how to never do so again.
I also coordinate efforts with defense attorneys, so as to help the clients attorney best defend their client , and I work with that attorney to show the court the client is making real change.
In my coordination with the defense attorney, I work on helping the client change distorted thoughts and behaviors so as to present well at their pre-sentencing interview (PSI), to help show the court that a community (not jail) based disposition is possible for that particular client.
I have a great track record in assisting attorneys in doing their job of helping their client get the best possible disposition of the case.

Rory Valentine Diller
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., LMFT Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #139783
I believe our sexuality is intertwined with our spirituality... it is sacred and often connected to the most vulnerable and tender parts of our mind, body and soul. When this is violated and disgraced by violence and abuse, survivors face wounding that cuts right to the core. Survivors may struggle deeply with shame, rage, grief, fear, injustice, relationships, sexual functioning, and symptoms of PTSD. I use body-based therapies and my own lived experience wisdom as a survivor to create a safe, empathic space for clients to recover and heal in the wake of sexual trauma.

Dr. Daniele Levy, Bay Area Cognitive Therapy
Psychologist, PhD, MBA
When working with clients who have experienced sexual abuse, I use Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help them process and reframe the trauma. CPT helps individuals identify and challenge unhelpful beliefs related to safety, trust, power, control, intimacy, and self-esteem that often arise after abuse. We work together to explore and challenge these thoughts, facilitating healing and fostering a healthier, more empowered sense of self, while also addressing emotional and cognitive responses tied to the trauma. This approach is designed to promote lasting recovery and improved mental well-being.

Nathan Ely, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MDiv, LMFT
With specialization in trauma recovery, I have worked with many survivors of sexual abuse. These experiences make it difficult to build trust in relationships with others and it affects the relationship we have with ourselves. EMDR therapy can help our minds and bodies reconnect as we process traumatic events, allowing space to thrive, healing the wounds of the past and experience healthy connection with others.
